FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Sixth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the drafl finalized
by the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1962 and revised in 1969, 1975, 1984, 1992 and 1999. While reviewing
this standard, in the light of experience gained during these years, the Committee decided to revise it to bring in
line with the present practices being followed by the Indian industry and overseas standards of structural steels.
In this revision the following changes have been made:
Supplied by Book Supply Bureau to ALSTOM PROJECT INDIA LIMITED - VADODARA
for internal use by subscribing member only.
a) Title of this standard has been modified.
b) Amendments No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been incorporated.
c) A new clause on references has been incorporated.
d) Number of grades have been increased to nine.
e) ‘International grades designation system based on yield stress has been adopted, simultaneously old
designations have also been given in parentheses.
Q Provision of normalizing rolling/controlled cooling have been incorporated.
g) Requirements of IS 1977 and IS 8500 have been incorporated.
The revised standard shall supersede the following standards:
a) IS 1977: 1996 Low tensile structural steels
b) IS 8500:1991 Structural steel — Microalloyed (medium and high strength qualities)
To keep the pace of technical upgradation in the steel industry, the Committee agreed to reduce the sulphur and
phosphorus content, during the next revision.
For all the tests specified in this standard (chemical/physical/others), the method as specified in relevant
1S0 Standard may also be followed as an alternate method.
While revising the standard assistance has been derived fkom 1S0 630: 1995 ‘Structural steels — Plates, wide
flats, bars, sections tid profiles’.
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.
For the purpose ~f deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2: 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value sho-uldbe the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
